Henry's research sheds light on how different types of innovation intermediaries facilitate the Open Innovation process, contributing to the knowledge integration process, technology markets and their impact at the regional level
 Wim Vanhaverbeke
He studied philosophy and economics at the Catholic University of Leuven and obtained a DBA at the IESE-business school in Barcelona in 1995. He is currently Professor Strategy & Organisation at the Hasselt University (Belgium) in the Department of Business Studies and is appointed as visiting professor "Open innovation" at ESADE (Spain) and the Vlerick Leuven Gent School of Management (Belgium).
Open Innovation embraces the process of cultivating and internalizing value from opportunities external to the firm, as well as the skilful deployment of internal discoveries to external complements (Chesbrough 2003). In response to this challenge, different forms of innovation intermediaries have emerged over the last decades to help companies to transgress their own boundaries and access external technological markets.

'Green innovations' have become not only relevant for customers but also for a wide range of stakeholders who indirectly pressure companies to adopt the ideology of 'going green'. However, companies attempting to implement new 'greener' attributes in old eco-friendly products come across a variety of setbacks ranging from early development to the late commercialisation stages.

Henry López-Vega
Researcher, ESADE Business School.
Henry's Ph.D. research sheds light on how different types of innovation intermediaries facilitate the Open Innovation process, contributing to the knowledge integration process, as well as their impact at the regional level.
Open Innovation embraces the process of cultivating and internalizing value from opportunities external to companies, as well as the skilful deployment of internal discoveries to external complements. Up to now, most managers have not apprehended how to design specific features to establish such recurrent external interactions as well as to capture opportunities. Chesbrough (2006) emphasizes the careful design of the features could synthesized in a business model. He continues saying that "a mediocre technology pursued within a great business model may be more valuable than a great technology in a mediocre business model".
